V6 MTDI Project

[darrenjlobb]

Autos in diesels unless they have valve body overrides or are designed for high torque outputs just don't seem to work... You mash your foot into the shag pile and it changes down 2 gears, makes a racket, doesn't really go anywhere, changes up again to where the high torque lies again and you actually go somewhere.

Sack it off and get a manual - those engines if given a good amount of fuel do like to rev and seem to perform well... They have a reputation for head gaskets but I've a feeling it's very much the same reputation that 306s have - i.e. incapable users.

The MSA15/EDC15 is properly easy to tune tbf, fwiw you may as well stick with the ECU as you'll find you have so much more control over the fuel quantities going in.

:O Abusing the autotrans!
Banned from the thread! even tho the mtdi vagbus is a manual lol. my autotrans hilux is the best thing ive ever owned
